Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 836: Don\'t Worry, It Will Be Fine (3)

The woman coldly said, "Sure enough, he never talked about me! How brazen. That old bastard better be careful. I\'ll get an answer from him one day!" How brazen.

She looked at Su Yu and said, "You learned nothing from him except his womanizing ways. You\'re just as bad as him. If Cheng Mo were really here to take you back, castrate you, and torture you, I wouldn\'t have cared. But this old goat is here with ill intentions. Thus, I won\'t agree him to take you away."

Cheng Mo didn\'t know what to say. He could only laugh, "Hongyan, don\'t say that. My daughter, Little You, and this kid love each other. I am only taking him back so they can get married. It\'s about time this kid stops his womanizing ways, right?"

"Yeah." The woman nodded, "That\'s right. Someone like him needs a woman to keep an eye on him all the time. He needs to be disciplined by a strict woman. After some time, he would probably shiver at the sight of any woman. He would no longer dare to be fickle with women anymore."

Su Yu was still in a stupefied state. He was wondering if this was really Niu Baidao\'s wife. He had no idea. Nobody had told him this before. Great. And now, he was going to suffer miserably. Were they really going to force him into a marriage?

He couldn\'t allow that to happen! He would rather expose his disguise than let that happen! Just thinking about the prospect of marriage was making him shiver. He felt terrible. The Allheaven Battlefield was right ahead of him, but several Sunmoons were standing in his way.

Right at that moment, the woman looked at their surroundings and snorted coldly, "We\'ll talk inside the city. Why are all of you here? Is this very amusing for you? Keep staring and I\'ll dig your eyes out!"

She then grabbed Su Yu\'s head. She applied quite a lot of strength in her grip, causing Su Yu to grimace in pain.

Carrying him by his head like he was a little chick, the woman flew away. While flying, she said, "Did that old bastard tell you to say anything to me?"

"Yes! He wanted to tell you that he has been missing you dearly!"

Boom!

The woman hit his forehead, instantly creating a big bruise there.

"Hmph! You\'re trying to trick me with flowery words. That old bastard would never say something like that. He is probably more than happy to see me away forever."

Was that really the truth? Su Yu could only admit that it was most likely the truth. After all, Principal Niu had never mentioned this woman before.

"Are...you really my teacher\'s wife?" He was still finding that hard to believe.

The woman said, "We were married fifty years ago. But that\'s no longer the case now. I severed my relationship with him fifty years ago."

That sounded like a complicated story. Su Yu grew doubtful when he heard that. The biggest thing that had happened during that time was Ye Batian\'s incident.

While he was thinking, Cheng Mo flew over and said, "Hongyan, it has been so long. Why are you thinking about it? It\'s not surprising for Old Niu to make that choice. Great Ming has never been interested in getting involved. But you insisted on getting him involved..."

The woman looked at him and coldly said, "Is that my fault? Batian is my sole living relative. He is my nephew. I have no child. I viewed him as my own son. That old bastard was aware of that. But he didn\'t even have the courage to say anything when my nephew died. I would definitely not send him off when it\'s that old bastard\'s turn to die."

Batian! Su Yu was stunned. Who? Ye Batian? Fifth principal! What was going on? Things were getting more and more complicated.

"Arre you talking about the fifth principal?"

"Fifth principal?" The woman coldly said, "I don\'t care what number you people attach to him. I only know that he\'s my nephew. I don\'t mind your teacher being so fickle with women. But his heart is too cold. It is fine for you to learn his womanizing ways. But if you become as cold as him, I\'ll personally kill you."

Su Yu was greatly shocked. Fifth principal\'s aunt? Holy shit! So there was still a family member of the fifth principal alive! Wait, in that case, was Principal Niu the uncle of the fifth principal? Their relationship seemed complicated.

Su Yu was truly unaware that Principal Niu and the fifth principal were actually related. Nobody had ever mentioned that to him before. As for why his wife had never been mentioned as well, that was probably related to what happened as well. Things must have been really complicated back then.

"You\'re the aunt of the fifth principal. In that case, Elder Hong Tan and Instructor Liu Wenyan of Great Xia..."

The woman said, "They\'re the students of my nephew, not mine. How am I related to them?"

She did not seem to care too much about them. She only cared about Ye Batian. She did not have a child, so she viewed Ye Batian as her own child. But ultimately, he died. She probably got into a fight with Principal Niu over that matter. Su Yu shivered. Would she take her anger out on him?

The urge to reveal his identity was getting stronger and stronger. He wanted to tell her that she was not Old Niu\'s student. He was Su Yu. He was either the grandstudent or great grandstudent of Ye Batian. The relationship between these elderlies was too complicated.

Behind them, Cheng Mo sent a voice transmission to Su Yu, "Kid, you better come with me while you have the chance. This martial mother of yours holds a deep grudge toward your teacher. Getting her attention is not a good thing for you. I only want you to get married to someone. As for her...hehe. Be careful. After your teacher abandoned her, she started hating the world. Nobody dares to provoke her. If you tell her that you wish to go to Great Tang, I can still rescue you from her hands. Do it before it\'s too late."

Before Su Yu could reply, the woman coldly said, "Cheng Mo, what are you telling him?"

"Nothing." Cheng Mo stroked his beard and said, "I\'m saying that after the marriage between this kid and Little You, we need to discipline him well. We don\'t want him to turn into an unreliable man like Old Niu. You can rest assured of the discipline of our Cheng Family. He won\'t dare to do anything rash once he\'s with us."

The woman couldn\'t be bothered to say anything. She flew into a large manor in the city with Su Yu in hand. This was her place of residence. She was the commander of a part of Great Ming\'s Heavenly Dao Army stationed here. She was also one of the strongest experts of Great Ming. Of course, very few people knew about her due to some complicated reasons. It had been many years since she last returned to Great Ming.

The large manor was filled with women. Not a single man could be found. The women offered their greetings when they saw her back.

"Madam!"

"Madam, you\'re back. Are you going to have your meal here?"

The woman waved her hand and said, "Go back to your tasks."

With that, the women dispersed. Before long, she entered a large room with Su Yu. For some reason, the room had a cold atmosphere that caused Su Yu to shiver. She casually tossed him aside and sat down

Cheng Mo and the burly man with axe also followed them in.

Right after stepping through the door, Cheng Mo said, "Hongyan, this place is so cold. Don\'t harm yourself for that useless Old Niu..."

The woman frowned and said, "Cheng Mo, if you dare to vilify that old bastard again, I won\'t hold back against you."

"..."

Cheng Mo was left speechless. He poured himself a cup of tea and sipped on it while saying, "Fine. We\'ll stop talking about that old fellow. Let\'s talk about this kid. I need to take him back with me. I left seclusion just for this. I can\'t let him run away after sleeping with my granddaughter."

The woman frowned and said, "We will talk about this again later."

She looked at Su Yu and asked, "Are you going to the Allheaven Battlefield to see Heavenly Forge King?"

"Yeah."

"How long do you need?"

"I don\'t know." Su Yu carefully replied, "I\'ll try to return as soon as possible. Martial Mother...can you let me go earlier? That way, I can settle my business earlier and return earlier."

The woman stared at him for a long while before indifferently saying, "What\'s the rush? I have a question for you. Has the four-leaf flower on the Heart Paradise Island bloomed?"

"Huh?"

Su Yu blanked out. What?

After a long while, he awkwardly said, "I never noticed. I guess so? Teacher might have plucked the flower. Nowadays, he\'s no longer growing any flowers there. I reckon the flowers must have reminded him of you a lot, so he couldn\'t take it anymore and stopped growing flowers. Nowadays, he spends his time numbing himself with liquor. Instead of flowers, there are several large ponds filled with liquor on the island now. Of course, that\'s not because Teacher is an alcoholic. He\'s merely using liquor to drown his sorrows."

"Hmph. Are you still trying to explain things for him? You\'re flippant and insincere."

The woman snorted coldly and asked, "Is my picture still in his bedroom?"

Su Yu cursed inwardly. How was he supposed to answer this? He had never seen this woman\'s picture anywhere. He wouldn\'t have been totally clueless about her otherwise.

He carefully answered, "Uhm...I had never paid much attention to that. Teacher\'s bedroom has been sealed for quite a while. He must have missed you so much he stopped sleeping in his bedroom. Nowadays, he spends his time resting while drowning his sorrows with liquor in the Heart Paradise Pavilion. He\'s missing you so much he\'s now an old, foolish drunkard."

The woman gave Su Yu a deep gaze. She asked nothing else. Four-leaf flower? Picture? She was babbling nonsense. None of those things existed. When she grabbed this fellow by his head earlier, something felt off.

But from these questions, she found out that this kid was aware of some things that no outsider would know. For example, Niu Baidao never slept in his bedroom. It had been the same for hundreds of years. He always spent the night in the Heart Paradise Pavilion.

This kid would not learn about that unless he was present at night when Niu Baidao was sleeping.

The woman was still suspicious, but she didn\'t ask anything else. She looked at Cheng Mo and said, "Let him go to the Allheaven Battlefield first. He will go to Great Tang after that. Whether he needs to apologize, take responsibility, or get married, that can happen later. Cheng You is not back yet, anyway. Why are you in such a rush?"

Cheng Mo smiled politely and said, "We can\'t do that. This kid is too crafty. If we allow him to go, we might not be able to catch him anymore. What if he decides to stay in the Allheaven Battlefield? That would be very troublesome."

"What can he even do staying in the Allheaven Battlefield? Marry into the divine race?"

The woman coldly said, "Cheng Mo, this is not a discussion. I am notifying you. Do you want to fight me for him?"

"Not at all!" Cheng Mo said, "Old Niu will go crazy if I fight you. Sure, I can kill him with one slap, but we\'re old friends. I don\'t want to do that. Am I right?"

The woman was left somewhat speechless. Even during a moment like this, this fellow was grabbing the chance to step on Old Niu.

Cheng Mo looked at Su Yu and said, "How about this? You must return within three months. I\'ll be here to pick you up. If not...hehehe. Old Wu, keep an eye on him for me. If he refuses to return, I\'ll personally head into the Allheaven Battlefield to catch him. Trying to renege on your responsibility after sleeping with my granddaughter? Dream on!"

The burly man with axe smiled and said, "No problem. I\'ll personally catch him for you if he refuses to return in three months."

Su Yu hurriedly promised, "Yes, yes, I\'ll be back! Senior Cheng, I\'m a man of my word!"

"You definitely aren\'t." Cheng Mo sneered, "Kid, don\'t bother trying to play this trick on me. I know what you\'re thinking just by looking at you. Don\'t even dream of running. You can\'t escape me. It doesn\'t matter what you want. You will take my granddaughter as your wife. And if you dare to mistreat her, I\'ll beat you to death. It\'s that simple."

Su Yu resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He nodded and agreed, "I will keep my promise."

Well, Cui Lang was screwed. Su Yu told himself that he would try his best to resolve this issue, but then again, that Cui Lang was quite an asshole for running away right after sleeping with that woman.

Cheng Mo stood up and said, "Hongyan, I\'ll let him go this time out of respect for you. Three months later, I\'ll be here to take him back to Great Tang. Kid, take this with you."

He tossed a command token over and said, "This is my command token. You can seek help from Great Tang\'s forces in the Allheaven Battlefield if necessary. Don\'t you dare to die out there."

Su Yu accepted the token and smiled fawningly, "Thank you, Senior Cheng. I won\'t die."

Cheng Mo sneered before vanishing into thin air. The burly man with axe also left with a smirk on his face.

When everyone left, the woman looked at Su Yu and indifferently said, "I\'m not interested in asking you anything. But the Allheaven Battlefield has been chaotic recently. Take care when you\'re there. Also, you\'re fine here, but at the Allheaven Battlefield, your identity will be inspected strictly. At times, even Invincibles will personally scan the area. Are you familiar with any Invincible that can help you with this?"

"..."

Su Yu\'s heart skipped a beat. After a while, he said, "Great Ming King. Or Great Xia King."

"None of them are near the headquarters." The woman said, "They left recently to investigate something. They won\'t be around the headquarters."

Su Yu\'s mind was in a mess. So who could he rely on? It was unlikely that he could hide from an Invincible. It would be fine anywhere else as no Invincible would inspect a random person they encounter. But it was very likely that he would catch the attention of an Invincible when he stepped out of the portal.

After thinking about it, Su Yu said, "Great Qin King works as well."

"Great QIn King..."

The woman thought about it and nodded, "In that case, you can go there the day after tomorrow. Great Qin King will be around to reward some meritorious soldiers. You can go then."

"I\'ll listen to you, Martial Mother."

The woman didn\'t deign to say anything about his attempt to fawn on her. She stood up and said, "Stay in this room. Don\'t go anywhere. A reminder for you. When a high-stage Sunmoon gets into physical contact with you, they can sense that something is off about you."

"Thanks for the warning, Martial Mother."

So that was why.

Su Yu nodded. So she had discovered his disguise.

Sigh.

Sure enough, his disguise would never be perfect without enough strength. High-stage Sunmoons would not be able to see through his disguise so easily, but the moment there was physical contact, they could detect something. In short, Invincibles could see through his disguise while high-stage Sunmoons could feel his disguise through touch.

The woman ignored him and left the room. Inwardly, she was wondering about his identity. That old bastard seemed to have helped with the disguise. And this person had been at the Heart Paradise Island before as well. He was also related to Great Xia King. He was also a weaponsmith.

She had a rough guess as to his identity. How brazen. He was actually voluntarily heading to the Allheaven Battlefield. Was he not afraid that the myriad races would discover him and hunt him down? The woman couldn\'t be bothered to say anything about it. Since Niu Baidao was already aware of this, they definitely had their own plans. So be it.

***

Inside the room, Su Yu exhaled in relief.

He also felt quite gloomy.

This disguise of his seemed quite useless. It was supposed to work well, but it felt as though anyone could see through it.
